Family Income Supplement (FIS) is designed to provide support for people with families who are on low earnings. In the matter of the person concerned, her renewal application was received on 7 November 2012 and was referred to a social welfare investigator on 8 November 2012 for confirmation that all the statutory conditions for the receipt of FIS are satisfied. Once the report of the social welfare investigator is received in FIS section, a decision will be made on her renewal application without delay and the person concerned will be notified of the outcome.
